Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie is pretty darn sexist, definitely not my Wonder Woman.

The release is good but adds little compared to the original.

BUT the story in the live action movie is more up to date.

This a good cartoon movie if you are a DC Comic fan.

Awesome to watch, very entertaining. Would recommend.

For ones that have never known about Wonder Woman it's okay, but just another story that is fair.

Well, it wasn't exactly Gone with the Wind or Citizen Kane

Got the wrong movie Meant to the get the real one

I thought it was the new wonder women that came out but it was not.

I recently took another look at the DC Animated Film Wonder Woman. I wanted to experience a good DC film after the travesty that was the recent Batman v Superman. I recall that Gal Godot was Wonder Woman was one of the best aspects of that movie. While I disagree with that sentiment, I am very fond of the Amazon Princess, and wanted to be reminded of the great character I watched on Justice League when I was younger. While this entry is very good, it falls just short of great, or at least the great potential Wonder Woman has. This film was made way back in the old days of 2009, and was one of the first entries into the DC Animated Films line. Something that occurred to me then, and seems to have more or less played out over the years, is that DC has a tendency to test out potential live-action big budget films with animated prototypes; an experiment to see how they could perform on the big screen, if you will. That certainly seems to be the case here for Wonder Woman, despite the great length of time it has taken Warner Bros. to get there (and they still haven’t 7 years later). This is a very good origin story for Wonder Woman, based on George Pérez’s reboot “Gods and Mortals” from 1987, just after the Crisis on Infinite Earths, which rebooted the entire DC Universe(s). Given Pérez’s great history as a comic writer, with titles like The Avengers and The New Teen Titans under his belt, this is a good staring point. Plus, this film was written by Gail Simone, arguably the greatest female comic writer of all-time, so there is no shortage of talent when it comes to this film’s story, and it certainly shows. This movie puts Wonder Woman in a modern setting, seeing her reactions to man’s world as we know it. I think this is the best place to start with her, instead of a period piece, because she is as new to the world as the world is to her, providing a great parallel contrast to her development as a character, and the development of man’s world into a place that is better in some areas and just as bad as before in others. The plot hits all the points it needs to for an origin film. The pacing is good, and there are no heavy twists to overcomplicate anything. The action is fairly good for what it is, standard PG-13 fare. You don’t actually see any of the blood or most fatalities, so don’t go in expecting God of War or 300. Diana’s character is rounded and develops well and naturally, as does the male lead, Steve Trevor, Diana’s own “Lois,” if you will. The animation style is pretty close to the designs of the legendary Bruce Timm, who is also one of the producers, so you know you can’t go wrong there. The cast is, for the most part, pretty good. Virginia Madsen does alright as Diana’s mother Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, although perhaps she comes too close to coming off as too cold. Vicki Lewis also does okay as Persephone, as does Rosario Dawson as Artemis. Marg Helgenberger completely phones it in as Hera, but seeing as how she barely has any lines, it doesn’t really matter. Oliver Platt doesn’t quite pull it off as Hades. Voice acting giant and veteran Tara Strong gives an always great and versatile performance as Alexa. Nathan Fillion completely hits it out of the park as Steve Trevor, proving why he is one of the most charismatic people in the nerd circuit, bring wit and charm to the character, who also serves as a genre-savvy commentator. Alfred Molina is great as Ares, expected as he is one of my favorite villainous actors. Keri Russell does decently as Diana herself, but in my opinion, she doesn’t quite have the right needed balance of kindness and toughness to her voice that Susan Eisenberg had during her tenure on Justice League. Despite all that, this film does have some pitfalls that begin to hinder it as they pile up. For example, it’s never explained exactly or where Ares’ army of men and monsters came from, let alone his modern-day “Cult of Ares” that somehow survived from antiquity. As with any new interpretation, the designs of the Greek gods can vary wildly, although only 2 are given any real screen time. Ares is just fine, but they really dropped the ball with Hades; I just cannot get behind that design. He’s way less James Woods and way too much Jabba the Hutt, and yes, that is as bad as it sounds. This film shows a subpar sense of space and time. We’re not really given much a frame for how much time has passed in the story, and characters just show up in locations with no explanation. How did Ares get an entire army of mythological creatures up to the steps of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. without anyone noticing or doing anything about it? Furthermore, the Amazon’s home of the island of Themyscira is never given a definitive geographical location. I would assume it’s somewhere in Mediterranean Sea near Greece, but then how could Steve Trevor pilot a fighter jet to there from D.C. and back in a matter of minutes? Or how could the Amazon sail from there to D.C. in wooden ships and not take 6 months? A lot falls apart in the climax, and with its location of Washington D.C. and an army of Amazons, it bares resemblance to the story “Amazons Attack,” and that is not a good association. Although there is some good zombie nightmare fuel in the final fight, with undead Amazon warriors that are uncharacteristically agile and mobile for rotting corpses, it overall feels too rushed. The resolution, both Wonder Woman’s final fight with Ares and the battle in general, is too quick and nonsensical. After the big bad is defeated, Ares’s remaining army doesn’t get finished off or even disappear; they just kind of shrug their shoulders and wander off into the landscape of the National Capitol, where I’m sure they’ll just fade back into the void from which they came. Still, problems aside, this film holds up fairly well. There’s just enough baggage from the missteps to hold it back from being truly great. There is a good and fair discussion of gender roles and modern feminism, ideas that Wonder Woman was always meant to exemplify. There is great balancing act from 3rd-wave feminism, which in my opinion is largely poisonous and based in anger and vengeance, and feminism’s more noble roots of equality and fairness. Overall, Wonder Woman is a good origin story for this great character, and a good base from which to start for the live-action version that’s coming up. Now let’s just hope they don’t screw it up.

This is definitely not your Super Friends or Justice League Wonder Woman by far. I found this BluRay movie very refreshing because it had an honest take. Be warned that it's very graphic. People, creatures, and others are shown being slain. It's definitely got a bit of violence to it however, that's what makes it so refreshing. It adds to the storyline by creating realism instead of a generic feel good wholesome approach. This was how Wonder Woman was supposed to be presented as. You can't have a warrior and Diplomat picking flowers and taking minutes (Original Justice League / Super Friends). This movie had a great storyline and showed a great introduction of Diana to the world of Man. It was honest, it was refreshing, and it was so good that I'm hoping there are more movies soon. The animation could have been done a bit better. The costume they drew up for Diana was a little sub standard in comparison to the recent Justice League Series. Also her physically drawn aspect as well others was a little cartoony for todays animation. Even Justice Leauge had a better physical character representation format in my personal opinion. WB should take another look at the animation board for the next installment. Other than that, I rate it very well.

The DC Animated Universe has been much better than the competition. DC has pumped out hit after hit with only a few missteps. Early on, Wonder Woman was one of their ventures. The story is like every other Wonder Woman origin. Diana (Princess of Themyscara) is trapped on the Amazonian islan. A fighter pilot crashes on theri beach and disrupts the isolation they've enjoyed for centuries. This starts Diana's first introduction to the outside world. Given her tribe's value of justice, she feels a need to protect all of mankind. It's a simple story, but this film adds Ares age old ambition to destroy the Amazons after a humiliating defeat. He does this by appealing to his guard in a way her queen never has. The dual story of both Diana in the outside world and Ares' ambition gives purpose to the fish out of water tale. The downside to this movie is the ending. When you think Ares has succeeded, a ex machina ending brings this movie to a close with a brief PSA moment. The battle scenes are fun, the voice acting is spot-on, and the movie is worth your time. I would recommend the 2009 Wonder Woman animated film. What it lacks in its ending, it makes up for in overall substance.

Wonder Woman Commemorative Edition movie is not for young viewers. Some of the scenes are very graphic for the young. Lately The DC Universe has been making their animation movies with dark plots. I enjoyed the action scenes with Wonder Woman fighting evil. If you are a Wonder Woman fan, get this movie for your collection. I wish the animation was more like the artwork on the cover of the blu-ray. The 3D cards that came with this movie, was a nice addition. Can’t wait for the next DC Universe movie. I would highly recommend this to my friends.

This is one of my all time favorite comic movies I have ever watched. However, this is a very violent cartoon and has a very high death count, even in the first 10 minutes. Is it perfect? No. I wish Wonder Woman was drawn better and I think it gets slightly slow in the middle with Steve Trevor, however it is a well rounded story, with excellent character development even in minor characters. I wish they would make a movie out of this.

I know, this has nothing to do with the 70s TV series, but if you're of an age, that song pops in your head at the mere mention of WW. This isn't some cheesy TV show, though. This is some spot on great work telling a terrific story of a DC icon. The blu-ray is a bonus, though I really appreciate the book more. Together though, at the right price, this is worth picking up.

I saw this movie in advance of its release. Amazingly done, this animation will satisfy Wonder Woman fans and newbies. I only hope that when a live-action movie is produced that it can be even half as good as this. I will absolutely be buying this DVD.

Wonder Woman!!! Finally a story that represents a key heroin icon in the DC Pantheon! The story, acting, action, all with heart! These DC movies are done right. a Must Buy!!!

One of the best animated origins movie from DC. Too violent for minors though. Animation looks good as well.

I love this movie love the box art as well as the extra bonus features in this dvd.

Happy to have this one in the collection loved every minute of it
